Unveiling the properties of pulsating low-mass helium-core white dwarfs through TESS asteroseismology I. First results
Leila M. Calcaferro, Nikoo Hosseininezhad, Murat Uzundag +4
Recent space-based photometry, particularly from TESS, has opened new possibilities for probing the internal structure of low-mass (LM) helium (He)-core white dwarfs (WDs). We pres…
Observing bright pulsating white dwarfs with PLATO: A new window into the late stages of stellar evolution
Murat Uzundag, Alejandro H. Corsico, Nicholas Jannsen +17
We present the scientific case for exploiting the capabilities of the PLATO mission to study bright pulsating white dwarfs across a wide spectral range, including hydrogen-deficien…
Asteroseismology of the ZZ Ceti star WD 1310+583 using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
Zs. Bognár, M. Uzundag, F. C. De Gerónimo +4
Aims. By analysing the light curves of the ZZ Ceti star WD 1310+583, we aim to determine its pulsational frequencies and to give constraints on the main stellar parameters using th…
A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars II. Atmospheric parameters, mass distribution, and kinematics
H. Dawson, M. Dorsch, S. Geier +30
We present a quantitative spectroscopic and kinematic analysis of a volume-complete sample of hot subluminous stars within 500 pc of the Sun, assembled using accurate parallax meas…
Asteroseismology of white dwarfs in the 2040s
Murat Uzundag, Ingrid Pelisoli, Stephane Charpinet +6
White dwarfs, the final evolutionary stage of the vast majority of stars, serve as critical tools for cosmochronology, studies of planetary system evolution, and laboratories for n…
White Dwarf Binaries: Probes of Future Astrophysics
Anna F. Pala, Roberto Raddi, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +25
White dwarf binaries are fundamental astrophysical probes. They represent ideal laboratories to test the models of binary evolution, which also apply to the sources of gravitationa…
